The Terreon Cresent Lavatory provides up to three hand-washing stations with a single set of supplies using less wall space than conventional lavatory systems. It is targeted for use in applications requiring light to moderate duty hand washing, low-cost, ADA compliance, and designer good looks. The Crescent's shape provides a more linear design with more space per user without forcing users to stand across from each other. The strength and molding capability of Bradley's Terreon® product allowed them to design a unique and stylish alternative to china lavatories.
